Update: New everything
So I know its been a long time since anything good came of this thread but going through a 3rd motor (the 5.3l) I called it quits for a bit. I went off and got a better job bought a truck and immediately took it off-road
Beat the hell out of it, then built it. Then I decided it was time for me to move up in the world and get myself a Harley after all those uncomfortable crotch rockets. Took a road trip to Colorado for a family reunion.
Rode through the mountains like I have always wanted...and made some money at the casinos
Then got a puppy
So once I got all the years of fun and fu**ing off in I went back at it......
I had a motor BUILT this time
TADA!!
Threw it in and thought to myself I want a 6 speed cause I want to have more fun than just a straight line....then bam found a member here to trade with built and all
Ran into some snags:
^Bad injector brand new outta the box
I decided against my original plans with the 102 intake and TB and plan on going another route sometime...this setup should be a dead giveaway
Also got tired of the FP reg in the tank, so I just ran braided lines all the way up with the stealth pump and stuck a nice Aeromotive FP regulator on for good looks
^Inline filter, its strapped to the frame rail 3" from the exhaust so no worries
Phew!! Ok so that's what's been happening the past couple months of progress. I'll be ordering the throttle body and remaining fuel line fitting this week along with the last couple pieces to make her drive then off to get a dyno tune
Any questions!??
